Women's T20 WC: West Indies Thrash Bangladesh, Keep Semis Hopes Alive
T20 World Cup: The West Indies women remained on course for a place in the semifinals, coming up with an inspired display of power-hitting to outplay Bangladesh by eight wickets in a key Group B clash in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium here on Thursday. Both teams came into the game on two points with two games remaining, knowing that victory was crucial to keeping their semifinal qualification hopes alive.
West Indies captain Hayley Matthews showed why her side is such a dangerous proposition, peppering the boundary in an inspired 22-ball 34 that helped break the back of a chase of 104.
The captain and her opening partner Stafanie Taylor put on 52 runs for the opening wicket before Matthews was cleaned up by Marufa Akter, with Taylor forced to retire hurt on 27. But the power kept on coming, as Shemaine Campbelle hit 21 from 16 before the phenomenal Deandra Dottin slammed 19 from just 7 deliveries to wrap up the win in 12.5 overs.
